❤️ JOSIE’S LAST CARVERY ❤️Bit of an emotional one at the Brewers today…After two years with us and probably well over 100 Sunday carveries, today is Josie’s last ever carvery at Ye Olde Two Brewers. 🥹🍽️It’s not quite her last day with us yet — but it is the end of an era.She’s battered more fish, carved more meat, peeled more spuds and survived more crazy Sundays than we could possibly count. 😂Soon she’ll be swapping the Brewers kitchen for university and the next chapter of her life. 🎓❤️We’re incredibly sad to see her go, and she’ll be massively missed by all of us, but we’re also excited to see where life takes her next.So if you’re coming down for carvery today, come and wish Josie well, say goodbye and help us give her a proper Brewers send-off.One last Sunday service.One last carvery.Let’s make it a good one. ❤️🍻Good luck at uni, Josie — and thank you for everything.#YeOldeTwoBrewers #Shaftesbury #SundayCarvery #LastCarvery #EndOfAnEra #GoodLuckJosie #OffToUni #PubFamily #TeamBrewers #SundayRoast #ShaftesburyDorset #SupportYourLocal #PubLife #NextChapter ❤️🍻
